Love Takes Time
Chapter 7


*�s POV *

I was coming back home from work. We had worked a lot today for the new album and I was tired. I wanted to go home quickly cause I 
didn�t liketo be on her own when she was feeling so bad. I was worried because she didn�t sleep and eat anymore. She cried � all 
the time. She didn�t stop crying and she was getting weak. I was worried cause she seemed as if  she didn�t wanna live anymore, 
she didn�t feel like living anymore. You could see it on her face. She was used to living with Max and she never thought something 
as bad could have happened to her. But now he wasn�t there anymore she seemed lost. She still had her friends cause we were there 
but Max was irreplaceable for her. She lost something inside of her when Max passed away. I didn�t know how to help her. I was sad too 
cause even if I didn�t see him so often he was a great guy and he certainly didn�t deserve what had happened to him. That was a shock 
forcause he died just before they got married. That was neither the place nor the time to hear your husband is dead. 
That was awful, an awful day and she didn�t succeed in getting over it. I tried my best but still she didn�t want to move on. 
And it killed me inside to see her so bad. When would we be able to see her smiling again?
I entered the house and saw she had switched the lights off. I turn them on as I made my way to the living-room but she wasn�t there.
�?� I called out but no answer. 
As I turned around I saw a note on the table. It was her handwriting. I began reading it� what the fuck!! 
I didn�t understand. Why did she talk about Heaven. And then it hit me. She was gonna make the big mistake of her life or had she already 
done it? A tear formed in my eyes. No � she couldn�t do that. I cursed myself for not seeing she was feeling very bad. I knew it but I 
didn�t expect her to do such a thing. Max wouldn�t have wanted that. I had to find her hoping she hadn�t already done �it�. I didn�t wanna 
lose her. That thought repeated in my mind. I didn�t wanna lose her �
I ran to the bathroom, maybe she had just taken a few sleeping pills. But I suddenly remembered that one day we talked about the 
different kinds of suicides � random convo I know. And so as we talked, she told me she wouldn�t like taking pills saying it wasn�t 
painful enough, she wanted to feel the pain � she was strange sometimes but that was all I could remember. And I was right she didn�t 
take any. Where was she then? I wanted so badly to take her in my arms and convince her I was there for her, that she wasn�t alone.
I took my keys, shut the door and drove off. She sure was outside but where? Suddenly I had an idea, I wasn�t sure but that could 
be a possibility. I had to go to the rock� she often went there� I drove as fact as I could. My heart hadn�t beaten so fast before 
and my hands were shaking. Never in my entire life I had been so afraid. I was so close to lose a woman who was very important 
to me. I couldn�t bear the thought of losing her. She needed me as much as I needed her.
Arrived near the rock I saw a blue car and recognized it was �s one. So I was right she was gonna threw herself into the drop.
She was in a f***** nervous breakdown! I went out of my car and ran towards the end of the rock when suddenly I saw her sitting on it. 
I run as fast as I could and put my arm around her chest as I felt her body was falling. She turned around and saw me looking deep into 
her eyes. She put her hand on mine which was still on her shaking body. She hardly breathed. She suddenly cried as I did too. 
She didn�t say anything, she just cried. I thought she had realized what she was doing. I put my head on her shoulder and wrapped my 
arms around her waist. I closed my eyes and sighed. She was alive � one minute later and I couldn�t have saved her. We stayed 
like that for a while and could hear her sobbing. That killed me inside. When would she get over him and understand she had a life beside 
Max? she pulled away and looked into my eyes. I took her hand and we drove to the house.
Arrived there we sill didn�t say anything. I sat on the couch and re-read the letter she had written for us. She tried to kill herself� 
it brought a tear to my eye. She sat near me and put her hand on my back, rubbing it.
�sshh don�t cry babe, I�m still here� she softly said. 
I turned to look at her and took her in my arms. I hugged her as tightly as I could as if I didn�t want her to go. After a while I 
pulled back. I looked deep in her eyes and thought we had to talk about it. 
�I didn�t know you were so bad � but why?� I asked still sobbing.
�I�� she paused. �It was the only way to see him again� she whispered as I could see she hold back the tears.
�you know it wasn�t what Max would have wanted� I said.
�yeah I know now. When I saw you crying at the rock I realized I couldn�t do that to you, to my family, my friends � I was acting 
selfishly. Max isn�t there anymore but I have to carry on living my own life� she said as she let a few tears rolling down her 
cheeks.
�Glad you�re talking like that� I said taking her in my arms, smiling weakly. �promise me you�ll never leave me� I whispered.
�I promise you Lee I�ll never leave you� I�m so sorry� she said kissing my forehead.
�don�t be hun, you were feeling low but I really thought I had lost you and that scared me� I replied as she put her head on my shoulder.
�you�ll never lose me� she whispered and soon she felt asleep and so did I. Everything was going back like before � even if it should 
take her a long time �
